Under the guidance of fifth-year coach Amy Bahl, Evergreen girls basketball has emerged as a perennial 4A title contender. The Cougars fell just short of the program’s first title last season in a 55-40 loss to Valor Christian as the Eagles captured their second straight championship.
Despite graduating five seniors, Evergreen returned a number of key pieces this season and got off to a 7-0 start though December.
Headlining the Cougars lineup is sophomore Claudia Dillon (12.7 PPG), junior Baylee Galan-Browne (10.7 PPG) and senior Keigan Drysdale (10.0 PPG) as Evergreen travels to Elizabeth on Tuesday night in the first contest back following the holiday break.
Denver Post preps editor Kyle Newman caught up with Bahl to discuss the team’s undefeated start, the play and leadership of Dillon, keys to improving throughout an arduous Jeffco League schedule and much more.
